How Life Works Here
Hurst's Yard is located in York. Crime is a significant concern, with 1935 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 703 violent offences were recorded (36% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area rather than a typical residential street. Some amenities are available nearby, though a car may be useful for regular errands like grocery shopping. Public transport is accessible, with rail and bus stops within reach. The nearest is about 72m away. Properties here change hands infrequently. The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation, with larger households suggesting families. There are 10 schools within 2 km, 10 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Primary schools are nearby, though secondary options may require travel. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. Overall, this street scores 43 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
